Verb: slander
1. Charge falsely or with malicious intent; attack the good name and
reputation of someone

Slander = Spoken

Libel = written.

Remember the S goes with the S: SlanderSpoken

The original comments were WRITTEN therefore if a lawsuit
resulted it would be a LIBEL suit, not slander.

A small technical point I know but I suggest you attend
law school before pontificating.

Jim,
I'm curious, and I'll bet your wife would know. Does usenet convert private
individuals to public figures the way things like news interviews and such
do?
